Adding Legend Reduces Datapoints

Hiya, maybe I'm just being thick but I can't work out why this is happening.

 

I have a simple bar chart, sorted descending by value. The value is 'Count of ID' and axis is 'Department'.

 

When I add another field as legend I seem to lose half the data. I've tried converting to a table, after which I can see all the data (exported the table to Excel too to manually count rows). The sorting remains so obbviously the data is there but it's not showing on the chart!

 

I've checked and all rows/fields have data.

 

First image is with no legend, second image is the same chart with the legend added:

    This is super strange! Can you by any chance share the pbix?

      Hi tex628 

       

      I'm not able to attach a pbix so I've uploaded to my OneDrive, here is the link:

      I've created dummy data as the previous one contained company data but I've managed to recreate the issue.

        There appears to be a limitation to the number of different values that there can be in the legend. I did not know this myself but from what i can tell it appears to be around 50 values.
